Maya Waked on music, identity, and her upcoming Dubai show
RIYADH: Lebanese-Canadian singer, songwriter, and genre-defying performer Maya Waked is celebrated for her evocative reinterpretations of classic songs and emotionally rich originals, blending nostalgia with modernity in a voice shaped by her multicultural heritage. Ahead of her anticipated performance at Dubai's Zabeel Theatre this November, she spoke to Arab News about her creative journey and cultural identity. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ 'I take pride in taking the road less travelled by. I've always taken an unconventional approach within my art and like to challenge social boundaries,' Waked said, noting that genre-defying music allows her to explore sounds and themes without limits. Her songs capture the joie de vivre — the joy of life — even when tinged with nostalgia. 'I express love, longing, and hope, especially from the perspective of someone living in a multicultural city like Dubai.' She envisions her upcoming show as 'a warm, emotional celebration,' adding: 'I hope the audience laughs, cries, sings, and dances, just like we do at any Lebanese gathering.' Being trilingual shapes her music deeply. 'Arabic adds depth and poetry, French lends romance, and English gives a modern edge.' She began her career by reinterpreting 1980s Lebanese songs she loved, aiming to give them fresh life. 'I'm also drawn to timeless melodies — anything that people hum as soon as the first note plays.' Her audience is primarily aged 30 to 50, often Lebanese and Middle Eastern expats, although her music also resonates with non-Arabic speakers. 'Despite the challenges of balancing my personal and artistic life, I've learned that adversity often fuels meaningful art.' Looking ahead, Waked hopes to keep performing and producing, and dreams of singing in Beirut — the heart of her song 'Helmi Ghanilak Bi Beirut.'

Media Majlis: How a museum in Qatar is rethinking media
BEIRUT: When you consider all the ways humans communicate — from memes to smoke signals to shared glances — the task of categorizing them becomes overwhelming. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ To explore how truth is constructed through communication, Alfredo Cramerotti, director of the Media Majlis at Northwestern Qatar, the Middle East's first museum dedicated to media, reflects on the challenges and privileges of leading such an institution. 'Directing the Media Majlis Museum is an immersive commitment … not a job that neatly divides into categories,' Cramerotti told Arab News. Unlike traditional museums that present information and leave visitors to draw their own conclusions, the Media Majlis delves into the mechanics of how truth itself is shaped — and sometimes manipulated. 'We are not adjudicating truth but rather unpacking the means through which truth is constructed, circulated, and challenged,' Cramerotti explained. Truth, as he sees it, is endlessly complex and often travels through unexpected, even mundane, vehicles. One such vehicle? Memes. 'Memes operate as a currency of commentary, at once ephemeral and enduring, local and global,' he said, discussing the museum's upcoming exhibition 'Memememememe,' opening Sept. 1. As Cramerotti points out, the meme's clickability — its blend of humor and urgency — has made it one of today's most powerful tools of communication. It's exactly the kind of cultural artifact worthy of deeper study. 'That kind of recognition, both reflective and disruptive, is what museums should be capable of generating,' he said. While humor certainly infuses much of today's communication, there is also a decisive political backdrop that sets the scene for a media-dedicated museum in the Arab world — namely, the silencing of Arab journalists across the Middle East. 'Rather than speak on behalf of others, we work to create conditions where their words, images, and decisions speak for themselves,' Cramerotti noted.
